Online Home Shop moves to Trafford Park and plans jobs growth

New base replaces sites with ‘historic capacity restraints’

A homewares retailer has moved to a larger base in Trafford Park and could create dozens of jobs there.

Online Home Shop (OHS) has opened a 327,000 sq ft centre at the industrial estate that replaces multiple previous sites with “historic capacity restraints”. The company says the move means it will be able to ship 6m orders this year “and provides significant job opportunities to grow the current headcount from 200 people to over 300”. The new site will include some 45,000 pallet spaces.

CEO Moshe Cohen said: “Opening this new site is a significant milestone for OHS and reflects our commitment to investing in the infrastructure needed to support our incredible growth journey.

“This additional capacity will help us operate more efficiently and continue delivering the high level of service our customers expect. I would like to thank everybody involved in making this happen.”

Rafi Margulies, of Capre, advised OHS on securing the lease of the premises, while B8RE, DTRE and JLL represented Oxenwood.

Online Home Shop’s most recent accounts on Companies House cover the 12 months to January 31, 2025 – a year which saw turnover grow 24.6% to £59.5m. Pre-tax profit rose from £4.18m in 2024 to £4.95m in 2025.

The directors said sales growth on the OHS website was down to “increasing the customer base, repeat purchases, a growing core business and expanding into new product categories, particularly in garden and furniture.” It added: “The company also continues to grow significantly across several key online marketplaces.”
